Wide Open

(album: Gemini, Her Majesty - 2014)

Tears how they burn in the pouring rain
It's all that's left, it's all that's left because

Said she don't wanna talk to me no more
Said I can't give her what she's been looking for
There's a longing within her eyes
Nobody's here, but the fear's still inside her

She always wants what she can't afford
Walking away but while crawling for more
It's perfection that we fantasize
Broken, naked and vulnerable

Wide open
You cut me open like before
Don't wanna feel it
But you always wanna mess around
Don't leave it open
Wide open like before
Don't wanna feel it
But you're always giving that runaround

We're always keeping score
Got a good look, but shots kept falling short
Real love's not a bluff
One half-step you know that ain't enough

We always want what we can't afford
Walking away while we're closing our door
For more imperfections that we can't hide
Wide open, naked and vulnerable

Wide open
You cut me open like before
Don't wanna feel it
But you always wanna mess around
Don't leave it open
Wide open like before
Don't wanna feel it
But you're always giving that runaround

Wide open
You cut me open like before
Don't wanna feel it
But you always wanna mess around
Don't leave it open
Wide open like before
Don't wanna feel it
But you're always giving that runaround
